          No, it’s still 100% owned and 100% controlled by Google.

          The Linux Foundation is just making it easier for people outside of Google to submit work to it.

          Cynically, you could say that Google is just trying to get free contributions while retaining all the control. Optimistically you could say this is the first step in Google giving up control of Chromium in the far future, although currently they’ve given zero verbal or written indicators that they plan to do that.
